Aiden, John, Funny you sent this today, the same day I received 5 of the Sistrum back catalogue thru a discogs seller (happy deep days!) Yes, become one of my favourite labels in the last couple of years and now Im back in to vinyl im trying to get all the good stuff. Im also a big collector of KW's Aesthetic Audio. Both labels to to cater for my deep/dub techno and deep house tastes, evidently merging the two styles effortlessy. Aesthetic perhaps a bit more of tech-house vibe and more melodic.
In my experience the 2nd hand prices on discogs reflect the quality of the releases. But a few personal picks here: Sistrum: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Underground-Anthems-EP-Vol-1/release/981199 (essential) http://www.discogs.com/Patrice-Scott-Excursions-EP/release/1793874 http://www.discogs.com/XDB-Espac/release/1233671 Aesthetic Audio: http://www.discogs.com/Keith-Worthy-Moments-In-Rhythm-Vol-1/release/1800920 (essential) http://www.discogs.com/Tony-Lionni-The-Chronicles-Noir/release/1570024 http://www.discogs.com/Various-Abstract-Art-Vol-1/release/2743293 (love the Nick Agha /Climates) http://www.discogs.com/Miles-Sagnia-The-Sounds-From-The-Abyss-EP/release/1957808 (essential) Great shout on Altered Moods John, another favourite and i know they have a slew of new great releases over the coming months.....Steve Tang, Specter, Matthew Wieck, Malcolm Moore and a few new artists too. This are my pick of the released stuff http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Pancake-Sessions/release/1545222 http://www.discogs.com/2DeepSoul-The-Deepness/release/2720300 A few other labels on a similar vibe for me are Fred P's: Soul People Music Uzuri Third Ear Soul People Music Ethereal Sound Quintessentials ive also become a follower of Anton Zap who's putting out stuff across various labels. the Anton Zap EP on UQ and I Get No Kick From Champagne are recommended! also check out new Russian Label Rawax I cant really comment on DL's but have sourced a bit of this stuff through Boomkat Happy hunting & digging Andy ps check out my sound cloud for much of this in the mix: http://soundcloud.com/verdant-recordings Andrew Green 83 The Waterfront Mill Road Hertford mr.verd...@gmail.com 07816 373278 On 26 Jan 2012, at 16:07, John Sokolowski wrote: You had me until you said digital! ;) I am not sure which of these are available digitally but you should check out (if you haven't already) the first Underground Anthems record on Sistrum. I haven't heard everything on that label but it is my favorite so far. The new one on Emphasis sounds excellent but I don't think it is out yet. Still familiarizing myself with the older Aesthetic Audio releases although I picked up Moments in Rhythm #2 in Detroit over the holidays and like it a lot. Underground Quality has a lot of releases. I think CT Beat Down by Jus-Ed and the Smallpeople release are very, very good. Altered Moods, Downbeat, Drumpoet Community, Jersey Underground, and some of the Sushitech releases are in similar vein.
